Because that's what their main comic continuity is. It's a G1 continuity. - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/IDW_Generation_1_continuityshockblast2 wrote:Why in the hell do you keep saying IDW is G1?
Then what would you call Dreamwave's non-Armada/non-Energon/non-Beast Wars/non-RiD comic continuity from 2002-2004?shockblast2 wrote:G1 is just that. G1 has not existed since 1990.
I'm sorry but I'm afraid you are greatly mistaken.shockblast2 wrote:The IDW version of Transformers goes hand in hand with FOC/WFC.
Just because IDW's Robots in Disguise story borrows WFC/FOC designs doesn't put it in the Aligned Continuity. It also has Sky-Byte from the RiD cartoon as well, but that doesn't tie it to the RiD cartoon.shockblast2 wrote:This is evident in the fact that they use each others designs.
So? That's because it's a new G1. A different G1. There's more than one G1 continuity. Always have been, alwasy will be.shockblast2 wrote:There is no story or spotlight on any story replicated from G1.
You do realize that there's far more to G1 than just its old cartoon, right?shockblast2 wrote:The fact that the dinobots and insecticons exist pre-earth should tip you off of this fact.
shockblast2 wrote:And the fact bots like Springer and co appear.
Yet again, there is far more to "G1" than just the cartoon.shockblast2 wrote:In G1, they did not come on the scene until season 3.
Merely a borrowed design aspect integrated into the modern day Generation 1 character.shockblast2 wrote:As far as the new "thrilling 30" toys go, Blitzwing itself is DEFINITELY not g1. His face proves that.
Hasbro simply hasn't yet made any toys of IDW G1 Optimus or Ultra Magnus that are to scale with the Springer toy.shockblast2 wrote:And I do not recall Springer towering over Ultra Magnus or even Optimus for that matter.
Correct.shockblast2 wrote:Like I told the other guy, yes these are IDW figures.
Incorrect.shockblast2 wrote:THEY ARE NOT G1. It is that simple.
The cartoon? Yes. The Marvel Comics? Yes. The Dreamwave comics? Yes (but only for about one decade). The IDW comics? NOPE!shockblast2 wrote:Geewun is dead and has been for two decades now.
No worries, man, as that's exactly what we're doing.shockblast2 wrote:Move on. Live in the now.
And TF: Prime. And Rescue Bots. And IDW G1. And Wings Universe. And Beast Wars Shattered Glass. And All Spark. And Masterpiece. And Kre-O. And Bot Shots. And GT. And Go! And the hyping up of Transformers 4.shockblast2 wrote:And now it is all about WFC/FOC/IDW.
Thing is, though, Cliffjumper's toy came out when the "Cybertronian" ones were still being sold. Warpath, however, came out at the very end of the 2011 line, right when the Phase 2/ "Classics-style" toys were out and dominating the line.shockblast2 wrote:To the guy above that mentions Warpath, funny you mention him. I firmly believe that his Generations toy is a WFC figure. Before you go all nerd rage on me, consider this. Look at it. It looks almost identical to the WFC verison. More square than rounded like the video game, but definitely closer to the WFC than geewun. Adn before you give me that the pre 2012 Generations toys that were WFC said "cybertronian", consider Cliffjumpers figure did not and his is definitely WFC. And the fact that Warpaths alt mode says "cybertronian tank" in the description backs this up. It doesn't look like or say earth tank mode. As a matter of fact, the only geewun correlation it has it that it is a tank, its red, and it is called Warpath. So was the scout from the TFTM toyline. And that abomination was definitely not Warpath.

I'm was just saying above that mixing earth vehicles with video game Cybertronian mode vehicles doesn't look right.
Looking at the comics, I'm kinda hating on most of the IDW Designs from the RID series (Bumblebee in particular), though I'm liking most from MTMTE. I'm glad to see some 3rd party offerings based on those. Maybe Hasbro will follow.
And.... I think a lot of fans would disagree with you about G1 being "dead"... in fact, the upcoming Hasbro Masterpiece Soundwave **1980s cassette tape player** wants to have a few words with you.
But seriously, there's enough space in the fandom for fans of G1, Beast Wars, Kiss Play, IDW, FOC.. and fans who like them all. No need to start a war against the GeeWunners.

Textbook Nerd Rage, right there.
